183: Two Writing Practice Extremes And Why They Don’t Work

Extreme writing practices can sound appealing. But unfortunately, they don't work! The two most common extreme writing practices academics struggle with are:

• Writing everyday

• Binge writing

 

In today's episode, I discuss the flaws in following extreme writing practices and share an alternative method that will help you improve your relationship with writing, unclog your publication pipeline, and avoid burnout.

 

If you are an academic struggling to stick to a daily commitment to write or are overwhelmed with a list of unfinished publications, this episode is for you! There is a better way to write. Tune in to learn how!
